The late Diana Vreeland is the subject of the fawning but fascinating documentary 鈥淒iana Vreeland: The Eye Has to Travel,鈥� directed by Lisa Immordino Vreeland, the wife of one of Vreeland鈥檚 grandsons.

As the 鈥淓mpress of Fashion鈥� who was the fashion editor of 鈥淗arper鈥檚 Bazaar鈥� before editing 鈥�Vogue鈥� in its 1960s heyday, Vreeland comes across in the movie as something of a cross between Auntie Mame and Godzilla. She was a true original in a world where knock-offs abounded. Grade: B (Rated PG-13 for some nude images.)
